Do you know the best Meta Warzone 2 SMG in Season 5? Call of Duty: Warzone 2 and MW2 meta changes after every major update, and Season 5 is no exception. While Season 4 and Season 4 Reloaded were all about the Shotguns meta, the new update is promoting the SMGs this Season. Let’s dive into the details to see which SMGs are buffed and build the best loadouts for each one of them.
The Best Buffed Meta Warzone 2 SMGs in Season 5 Ranked
- Vel 46
- Bas-P
- Fennec 45
There have been many changes in Warzone 2 and MW2 meta in Season 5. The new season of Warzone is focusing on SMGs and ARs, but not all the buffed weapons are worth a shot. This is because not all the buffs are equally effective. Take MX9 and Minibak for example. These two are also buffed alongside the other SMGs mentioned above. But in terms of mobility and damage stats, they still cannot compete with the top-tier SMGs of Season 5 meta; not even the famous Lachmann-Sub!
1. Best Meta Warzone 2 Vel 46 SMG Loadout in Warzone 2
- Muzzle: Lockshot KT85
- Rear Grip: ZLR Combat Grip
- Laser: 1mw Quick Fire Laser
- Stock: Vel A-568 Collapsed
- Ammunition: 4.6mm Overpressured +P
Buffed Stats:
- Neck Multiplier Increased
- Upper Torso Multiplier Increased
- Lower Torso Multiplier Increased
Starting with Vel 46, this weapon has got a super buff for its damage. The Vel 46 was a great weapon even before this update, and now the developers are showing some love for the good old MP7. The Season 5 patch note says that this SMG has got a buff in neck multiplier, upper torso, and lower torso damage. This means that hitting anywhere in the enemy’s body deals a ton of damage in close range, thus making Vel 46 the best meta SMG of Warzone 2 Season 5.
The loadout above is a balanced setup for this meta SMG in Season 5. The Lockshot KT85 muzzle is one of the best options to control your weapon’s recoil. But this setup is more focused on mobility, and that’s why the Vel A-568 Collapsed is chosen to boost the ADS time and sprint to fire speed. Also, the 1mw Quick Fire laser is a good option to double the impact on ADS time speed. The ZLR Combat grip is there to keep this Vel 46 from kicking recoil, and the 4.6mm Overpressured ammo type increases the damage.
2. Best Bas-P Loadout Season 5
- Barrel: 10.5″ Bruen Typhon
- Laser: 1mw Quick Fire Laser
- Stock: Bruen Flash V4 Stock
- Rear Grip: Bruen Flash Grip
- Magazine: 50-Round Drum
Buffed Stats:
- Maximum Damage Range Increased
- Neck Multiplier Increased
- Upper Torso Multiplier Increased
- Lower Torso Multiplier Increased
Bas-P has never been a very good or meta SMG in Warzone 2 and MW2 until Season 5. While this SMG was buffed many times during the previous seasons, right now in Season 5, this weapon has got a huge buff in its damage and range stats that have turned the tables.
In the best meta SMG loadout for Bas-P in Warzone 2 and MW2, we’ve used the 10.5″ Bruen Typhon here. This barrel changes this SMG to its older brother: Chimera. Next, you can attach a 1mw Quick Fire laser and Bruen Flash V4 stock to increase the ADS time and sprint to fire speed. The Bruen Flash grip helps you out with more mobility. And finally, we recommend using the 50-Round Drum magazine for this weapon due to its very high fire rate.
3. Fennec 45 Meta SMG Loadout for Warzone 2 Season 5
- Laser: VLK ZLR 7mw
- Optic: Cronen Mini Dot
- Rear Grip: Fennec Rubber Grip
- Magazine: Fennec Mag 45
- Ammunition: .45 Auto Overpressured
Buffed Stats:
- Maximum Damage Increased
The king of the SMG meta in Season 1 is back! It’s not as good as it was back in the first season of Warzone 2 and MW2 now. However, it still counts as one of the best meta Warzone SMGs in Season 5. In fact, the only nerf that had a very negative effect on this SMG was decreasing the damage in previous seasons, which is now buffed. Now let’s get to the meta loadout setup, shall we?
As you see in the image above, there are no muzzle and barrel attachments on this SMG. In fact, that’s what makes this loadout one of the best meta Warzone SMGs of Season 5. Fennec is a very inconsistent weapon when it comes to its stats. Adding a barrel or muzzle will lower its mobility too much. That’s why we use the VLK LZR 7mw laser and Fennec Rubber grip here for balanced mobility. Next, you need to attach a 45-round magazine under this SMG, as it has a very high fire rate.

After that, choose an optic in your favor. In the end, use the .45 Auto Overpressured ammo type to increase your weapon’s stats. This meta Fennec Warzone 2 SMG loadout is less noticeable to many players in Season 5. However, it still packs a punch in close combat fights, and you can use it to provide solid mobility and movement speed.
Warzone 2 and MW2 Season 5 are now available to play on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
